{{ $m := dict "a" 1 "b" 2 }}

The above produces this data structure:

{
  "a": 1,
  "b": 2
}

Note that the key can be either a string or a string slice. The latter is useful to create a deeply nested structure, e.g.:

{{ $m := dict (slice "a" "b" "c") "value" }}

The above produces this data structure:

{
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": "value"
    }
  }
}

Pass values to a partial template

The partial below creates an SVG and expects fill, height and width from the caller:

Partial definition

{{< code file=layouts/partials/svgs/external-links.svg >}} {{< /code >}}

Partial call

The fill, height and width values can be stored in one object with dict and passed to the partial:

{{< code file=layouts/_default/list.html >}} {{ partial "svgs/external-links.svg" (dict "fill" "#01589B" "width" 10 "height" 20 ) }} {{< /code >}}
